Vanessa Dewson Photography + Design is committed to preserving and protecting the natural environment. My love of photography stems from a love for nature and the world around me. Protecting the environment and conserving natural resources is not only personally important to me, it is imperative to the continued success of my business.

• my home, office and studio are powered using Bullfrog Power, Canada's 100% green energy provider, offering homes and businesses clean, renewable energy solutions.
• I reduce, re-use and recycle everything possible.
• I practice water, waste and energy conservation.
• I limit my car use by having a home studio and doing the bulk of my communication with clients on-line or on the phone.
• I use natural light when possible to work and in my photography and use rechargeable batteries for all accessories that take them.
• I offer projected viewing sessions or on-line galleries of images rather than paper proofs.
• I send design concepts by email rather than printing hard copies.
• I actively seek out products that have the lowest impact on the environment possible and vendors with a similar commitment to being green.
• I offer discounts on my services to environmental non-profits.
